08/07 — I didn't do my due diligence as a sports meteorologist because the early evening weather was not nearly as bad as the morning's heat, more low 80s under a thick cloud cover than low 90s under a still sizzling setting sun.

And the practice wasn't as sizzling as the morning session, more learning and review, it seemed for the most part.

Andre Dyson came up with a gem in early teams work, jumping on a Chad Pennington pass intended for Laveranues Coles and coming up with the interception. Later, 10 and 87 returned the favor by completing a crisp pass against Dyson's coverage.

In those same 11-on-11 drills, the good news was that Evan Prall, the free agent WR from East Stroudsburg, leaped for a pretty sideline reception of a Marques Tuiasosopo throw. The bad news was that Prall was caught extending his arm to hold off the coverage of CB Rayshaun Kizer. The penalty: One lap for Prall.

David Barrett continued his strong corner play on a Pennington-to-Coles downfield ball that Barrett broke up.

Pennington tried for another 90-plus-yard drive to match his 99-yard march of the a.m., but this time he was stopped at midfield.

Kellen Clemens was quick to read the opening vacated by S Rashad Washington and hit Chansi Stuckey crisply.

Recently signed RB Tony Hollings had a couple of back-to-back gainers, the first on an off-tackle run, the second on a pass from Brad Smith.

Mike Nugent kept up his hot foot with a pair of "game-winning" field goals to end the two-minute drills at the end of practice. The second was a mere 55-yarder, solidly hit and down the middle with room to spare. So far this summer, Nooge is looking huge.
